UCF softball player Samantha Rey denies cutting one loose during a three-game series against Texas. However, her teammates do not believe her!
The tape appears to prove otherwise.
Rey, a freshman utility infielder from California, quickly earned a role in the lineup upon arrival to Orlando. She is hitting .333 through 24 at-bats in 20 games with two RBIs and fielding .966 with 19 putouts.
It also appears as though she farted while hustling down to first base against the Longhorns. Allegedly.
Jomboy, one of the top personalities in diamond-based sport media, broke down a video from last weekend. Rey showed off her impressive wheels to beat out a swinging bunt for a single.
While standing on the bag, a hilarious conversation began to unfold.
She said something to the Knights’ first base coach, which made her nod and laugh. Rey seemed to admit something funny, which appeared to be that she “totally farted.” A teammate responded back “I was pretty sure it was you!”
#Fartgate commenced as soon as Jomboy hit post.
The evidence is pretty clear. Video seems to prove that Rey farted.
However, she adamantly denies the passing of gas!
Rey watched Jomboy’s video with her teammates on Friday morning and would not admit to the fart. No further explanation for what actually happened was provided. There was no counterargument.
Another UCF player chimed in “yeah, ya did” at the end.
The camera’s always watching, @SamanthaRey2023 😅😅 https://t.co/6dVSGCCuI7 pic.twitter.com/I5mXYuB7el

This is perhaps the biggest story in softball right now. Did Samantha Rey fart while running to first base or did the video captured by Jomboy reflect a completely different and unrelated scenario?
It is hard to go against what was captured on camera, but the denial brings doubt into the equation.
Fortunately, regardless of whether she let one rip or not, Rey is being a tremendous sport about it all. Now let the truth be known!
